Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that alcohol can trigger seizures.
What are the other drugs he is taking?
Alcohol can interact with many drugs. If the seizures persist, I recommend bringing him to the ER for a physical check up and some blood lab tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
